I am a college student with $2000 of credit card debt. The 0% APR on the card will be ending soon. A friend suggested to open a new card with 0% APR for 6 months (or longer, if possible) and (pending approval), transfer my balance to the new card.
Because of my studies I cannot get a job to pay off the debt until summer, so this seems like a logical solution. However, I feel that the solution cannot be this simple.
Why can this not work? What are the pros and cons of opening a new card and transferring the balance?
